Symbolism

Like its predecessor, the film, ironically, refers to various postwar reasons and Nazi occult , such as hollow Earth theory . The title of the film is most likely to be a reference to the novel The Coming Race (1871) by Edward Bulwer-Lytton which is commonly regarded as the origin of the so-called Vril myth. The movie teaser features the Vril symbol that was designed by Tempelhofgesellschaft in the 1990s.
